Broadcast Domain
From Network Dictionary Wiki
(Redirected from Broadcast domain)
Broadcast Domain is a restricted area in which information is shared by all devices. In other words, all the devices attached to the network that receive the broadcast are part of the same broadcast domain. In a shared Ethernet, stations broadcast frames to all other nodes through a shared medium. Other nodes listen to the broadcasts but only receive the frames addressed to them. Therefore, all nodes in a shared Ethernet belong to the same broadcast domain. Virtual LAN technology can create a virtual broadcast domain.
